On The Edge of Me explores mental health conditions and survival in the most fiercely competitive job market of all time.

This dark comedy is based on real-life testimonies of people suffering with mental health conditions, and those who have struggled to find a job. The play tackles stereotypes around unemployment, anxiety and depression.

Follow Remi as she embarks on a journey of love to heartbreak, aspirations to disappointment, and elation to anxiety. Experience a play that echoes the struggles of an entire generation with a voice of one actress who represents many.
